Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 2 Episode 24

I shook my head, feeling once again surrounded by those fears I had once desperately tried to avoid.

Observing my reaction, he seemed to be appreciating me with great satisfaction. His tall and slender figure settled into the boss chair next to me, looking at me as if he was admiring a pet.

I dared not move, nor even speak. My mind was in a state of confusion, devoid of even the most basic ability to think. The only thing I knew at that moment was… I was afraid of him. This man was a devil, a cannibal who drank blood, a murderer who crushed bones.

“Ah!” The roar that had woken’ me up sounded again.

Because of Ezra’s presence, I had not noticed that there was someone else in the large room.

Seeing the naked man lying on the ground, his face contorted, his body convulsing, and constantly foaming at the mouth, Ezra frowned, showing a hint of disgust, and said to the person next to him, “Throw him into the sea to feed the fish, it’s nauseating.”

The people around him nodded, almost without hesitation, they dragged the man on the ground out, regardless of how the man pleaded. In the end, all I could hear was a wail before he fell into the

water.

Thrown into the sea under such circumstances, that person… would undoubtedly die.

This person was still as cold-blooded as ever.

Seeing me pale-faced and watching all this, Ezra seemed to be in a good mood. He got up and squatted beside me, lifting my chin to look at me, and said leisurely, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t let you die yet.”

Not dying, it was very likely worse than death.

Observing my reaction, Ezra seemed quite pleased, “Tabatha, I’ve prepared many gifts for our reunion, would you like to see them?”

Out of fear, my palms were sweaty, my whole hand was sticky, barely able to support my body. I looked at him, my entire body uncontrollably trembling, “Ezra, what do you want to do?”

He lifted his gold-rimmed glasses slightly, squinting his dark pupils. and said, “Tabatha, long time no see, don’t be so nervous, behave!”

Saying this, he suddenly lifted my chin, pinching me, forcing me to look at him. The smile on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold and terrifying expression, “Tabatha, what are you afraid of? Have you forgotten how you treated me back then, have you?”

A chill ran through my heart, my hands clenched tightly. How could I forget? Five years ago, if it wasn’t for gradually gaining his trust, how could I have possibly escaped death and secured a lifeline for me and Walter.

Yes, if a wolf turns back, it’s either for revenge or gratitude. This wild wolf, Ezra, came to me again. What awaited me next would surely be a fate worse than death.

Suppressing the fear in my heart, I calmed my emotions, looking at him with a resigned-to-death expression, and said, “Ezra, since I’ve fallen into your hands, you might as well kill me.”

“Hahaha…” He suddenly let go of my chin, threw his head back and laughed heartily. After a while, he looked at me coldly and said, “Want to die? Tabatha, you’re thinking too simply Killing you would only

take a moment, but letting you die comfortably would really spoil my mood. I want you to wish you were dead.”

This man was too sinister. After speaking, he grabbed my head with both hands, forcing me to look at the syringe and powder on the table. He lowered his voice and whispered in my ear, “Tabatha, back then I cared about you and didn’t let you touch this stuff, now it’s time for you to taste it.”

After speaking, he suddenly yanked my hair, dragging me to the edge of the table and pressing my entire face against it. He said ominously, “What are you afraid of? This thing will make you wish you were dead, Tabatha. I won’t be merciful to you.”

“Ezra, believe it or not, back then at the bottom of the cliff, I never thought of leaving you behind.” I spoke through the pain, trying to buy myself some time, hoping for a glimmer of survival.

He eased his grip slightly according to my strength, but only for a moment, then he sneered disdainfully, “So what? You still want me to die, don’t you? Huh?”

“Ezra…” Suddenly, two men entered from outside, one after the other. The latter had a flushed face and looked somewhat immature, as if he had rushed in. The former was naturally Ezra’s man. He didn’t stop him, so he was now looking at Ezra with a tense expression.

Ezra lifted his eyes and looked coldly, glancing at the immature man who rushed in, he said coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Looking at his expression, the naive young man felt a bit intimidated, but he still mustered up the courage and said, “I can do anything, as long as you pay me. Please, don’t make me leave the ship.”

After speaking, he looked at Ezra with a face full of anticipation and unease, while also sneakily checking out my situation. Clearly, he was

quite scared as well.

Ezra slightly raised his eyebrows, his thin lips curling up as he said, “Anything can be done?”

“Um, anything will do.” The man, fearing that Ezra might change his mind, looked at him with a face full of anticipation, very sincere and

eager.

I didn’t know what torturous method Ezra had thought of again. He glanced at the man, then looked at me, suddenly leaned down to my ear and said, “Tabatha, would you like to experience my joy?”

I was confused, stunned for a few seconds, only knowing that this person wanted to do something perverted again.

Sure enough, he took a knife from the person next to him and thrust it into my hand, looking at me and saying, “Kill him, and you won’t have to touch what you don’t want to touch. How about it?”

The “he” he referred to was the naive young man.

I froze, looking at him in disbelief. The man was also startled, his face instantly turned pale.
